Pretty surreal watching a talent-packed race like this over a decade later. Xavier exhibits all this promise but to my knowledge never really runs another time like this. Meanwhile, several of the contenders he bests here go on to become Olympic medalists and WR holders. Performance is such a fickle thing and destiny is even stranger.

Xavier Carter (The “Marcus Dupree” of track), age 20 in this race, had Bolt’s number. They were close to the same age, with Carter being about 8-9 months older. Carter had just won the NCAA 100m & 400m dashes and then drops the 2nd fastest 200m (it was 2nd fastest when the race was conducted back in 2006) race in 19.63. ***Don’t quote me on this but I think Carter was undefeated against Bolt*** Carter had range from 100m to 400m and I think history would be different if he’d maintained his focus on track. Prodigious talent in X-Man.

No prelims in Lausanne, an annual invitational meet on the Golden League/Diamond League tour. XC had great physical potential, but attempting to compare him to a 2007-2013 Bolt, by using this race, then extrapolating over time, is a fool's errand. Not only are improvements in elite sprinting difficult to predict, even tiny improvements at this level require; an elite work ethic, an almost religious off track zeal in one's lifestyle, subtle improvements in mechanics, a dedicated mental focus (on and off the track) and luck with injuries, ALL must merge to remain consistent and/or improve at this level of competition. Combine XC dislocating his knee in the 200m semis @ the USTAFF nationals in 2007 and a series of off track criminal lifestyle choices, combined to end a potentially fabulous career. Track is littered with such stories. Research the life of 800m phenom David Mack, for a fascinating cautionary tale. Mack's 1985 time of 1:43.35, still makes him the 5th fastest American man all time, But, life long gang affiliations, even when a member of the LAPD (after injuries ended his track career in '87), led Mack to be convicted of armed robbery (14 years in prison) of over $700K. DM was also suspected (but never charged) in the murder of The Notorious B.I.G..

I'll let you figure it out. Carter probably ran 100/200/400 prelims & semis before this race, while Bolt simply ran 100/200. Thus, Carter would destroy Bolt in the 200m if he dropped either the 100 or 400. Carter went to prison not too long after this race, which Bolt and all the others sprinters worldwide celebrated, and continue to be thankful for.

Folks that haven’t followed track don’t understand how X-Man used to dominate Bolt and they were almost the same age. X-Man was undefeated against Bolt. Sadly, he lacked the discipline and focus to maximize his potential.

@@GreyBeard_FitThey only race one time how the fuck is that dominate. You are delusional Get that lack discipline and and focus bullshit excuse Bolt around this same time frame your so called Xavier beat was injury prone and lack discipline Bolt said it himself he wasn't motivated in his early professional career. But guess what bolt push pas that and accomplished great things Unlike Xavier Bolt could have ran way faster than 19.19 Back scoliosis problem his entire career, injuries in 2009 car crash, 2010 sore Achilles tendon, 2011 hamstring injury, 2012 hamstring injury, 2013 hamstring injury, 2014 hamstring injury, 2016 hamstring injury, 2017 bolt was pressure by his fans to run another year despite being less motivated to run I have not even get to the slowing down, untie shoe lace 2008 100 meter, poor start 2012 100 meter, 2009 100 meter looking around to see where Tyson gay is at. Bolt also eat alot of nuggets which would be considered unhealthy for athletes during the Olympics and still was able to break the world record. Bolt had more talent in the sprints than Carter. No way in u know what that Carter ever beat bolt in the 100 meter. 200 Meter no Chance.

Me neither. Watching this guy compete would hype up me and my buddies. Was sure a world record/gold medal was in the cards. But this was possibly his last fast race. Pretty haunting how that happens. Like, one second he's on everyone's radar and then the next he's off the map

Lane 8 is the best and fastest lane! I never understood why people say that lane 8 is a bad lane. If you're concentrating on others then you're not going to run fast. Lane 8 you just focus on you & your race. Lane 1 is the slowest lane for obvious reasons, it's tighter & the most curvature & obviously lane 8 has the least curvature.

I never seen some one comeback on Tyson gay like this
literally. Back when his blood resembled that of a human
He would’ve definitely challenged Bolt. Things just didn’t work out for him. Happens like that sometimes. He had personal and legal issues
The X-Man!! He was so dominant in high school

I was wondering the same thing. They are probably in charge of the meet and happy with the time. Faster times ran on the track means that people will want to continue racing on that track. Switzerland doesn't really produce any elite top track athletes, so for organizers of the sport who love it and want to keep hosting the meet...and they get whatever clout comes along with it.

I'll let you figure it out. Carter probably ran 100/200/400 prelims & semis before this race, while Bolt simply ran 100/200. Thus, Carter would destroy Bolt in the 200m if he dropped either the 100 or 400. Carter went to prison not too long after this race, which Bolt and all the others sprinters worldwide celebrated, and continue to be thankful for.

X-Man had the most potential of any sprinter I’d ever seen at this juncture when he ran this 19.63. He’d just won the 100m & 400m at NCAA’s in June of 2006, a few weeks before this race. Dude was scary with his talent.
exactly can yu imagine yu dnt know that yu would out run them
LOL, You have no clue... Carter would destroy Bolt. If you want to talk about a superhuman, Xavier Carter is just that.

He ran 19.63 at age 20 after having just won the 100m & 400m at NCAAs a few weeks earlier. He was 8-9 months older than Bolt. If Bolt could go from 19.88 at age 19 to 19.19 explain to me how you can deduce that X-Man did not have the potential to go from 19.63 at age 20 to 19.19 or faster if he’d kept his focus on track?
